  2. What are the principal purpose of this chapter? • To explain the significance of roles in groups • To identify the different types of group roles • To discuss the role emergence process • To explore how members gain and retain group leadership • To discuss how to be an effective leader in groups.

  3. Group Roles • Norms: Broad rules that designate appropriate behavior for all group members, while roles stipulate specific behaviors that are expected for individual group members. • Structure: systematic interrelation of all parts to the whole.

  4. Influence of Roles Not just playing games The expectations attached to roles can have a marked influence on group members’ perceptions. For example, pairs of students performed the roles of questioner & contestant in quiz game. Questioners = looked more impressive asking difficult questions (perception) The Stanford Prison Study

  5. The Stanford Prison Experiment • On one Sunday morning, police officers arrested 10 males • The 10 inmates blindfolded & transported them to the basement of the Stanford University psychology department building • stripped naked, uniforms with an ID #, personal items were prohibited • 11 Guards established a set of rules that the prisoners were to follow without hesitation • The study was terminated after only 6 days.

  6. The Experiment (2010) Trailer • A Movie trailer • http://youtu.be/TfC1SZaMyeg • This video is not the actual Stanford Prison Experiment conducted by Zimbrado

  7. Role Emergence • Occurs in formal structures. • Relevant in small, informal, leaderless groups without history. • Individuals bid to play a role because they have specific skills. High Status Roles: Perceived by those who are task oriented Maintenance Roles: Lower status, Helpers, Usually women

  8. Group Endorsement: • Acceptance by the group of member’s bid to play a role. This precedes by trial and error. Role Specialization: • When an individual settles into primary role. Can play more than one role.
